Responsibility for ensuring that child protection training meets strategic and operational needs rests with the PCB’s Training and Development Group (TDG) who are supported in the design and delivery of training by a Training Sub-group representing practitioners from all sectors who work closely with children and young people. In designing the programme for this year, we have again drawn on feedback from previous training events, consulted practitioners, prioritised issues identified with the PCB Work Programme, considered research outcomes and analysed need to produce a schedule which we hope will support you in the provision of high quality services that protect and safeguard all the children and young people on the Isle of Man. As we move forward, the TDG will continue to develop and refine the ways in which it collects feedback about, and evaluates the impact of training involving all partners in identifying training needs. This year we have introduced the following new courses: • Child Sexual Exploitation • Understanding and Recognising Sexual Abuse - (at levels 2 and 3) • Analysis – this will build on the general understanding of risk indicators and how professional judgment is used to decide the balance of risk versus protection • The Importance Of Listening To Children - will be built into each course as appropriate In addition we intend to publicise one or two appropriate events from the University of York, Making Research Count – Turning Knowledge into Practice 2013-14 Series. Dates for these events will be circulated when they are available. I hope that you will find training events stimulating, challenging and above all useful. However, one of the important ways in which you can help to shape future training is through honest and constructive feedback of what is provided and I would urge you to reflect this in any evaluations or feedback you may be asked to provide. In addition, if the training that you want is not in this prospectus, please contact a member of the TDG who will bring this to the attention of the Group for consideration for future programmes.
